Exploring the world of comic strips through vague Japanese poetry.

The content on this page is solely created by you, the viewers, so if you want to see more, you'll have to contribute something yourself.

1. Haikus are a form of poetry that consists of three lines with five, seven, then five syllables on each respective line. For example...

   Rockwood is in space (5 syllables)
   On a circular station (7 syllables)
   Looking down on Earth (5 syllables)

   Obviously, that's pretty boring, but technically correct. Try to do more than just count syllables. Be creative!

2. The haiku you submit doesn't necessarily have to have Rockwood mentioned in it, but it would be nice if it related to something in the site somehow, whether it be space-related or just pertaining to a topic brought up elsewhere.

On with the haikus!

First time in ever
Can't get excited for games.
What is wrong with me?

Thank God for Rockwood,
Olympic watch makes it fun,
Brian's a hero.

ode to weekend plans

disappointment reigns--
must drive to plainfield to see
midnight clone wars show.

(not that it isn't
worth the drive but gas will cost
as much as ticket)

still i will go and
dear george will get my money;
seeing it three times

midnight show will be
best, will try not to ruin
others with spoilers

next time hope to plan
better gathering for all
to see together

--mikki

Election fatigue...
Why do I care anymore?
Oh yeah, no more wars.

The same two parties,
Stuck. Spiraling down. Hopeless.
Bob Barr is my choice

Vote for Brett the Jet
Who used to be a Packer
Favre for President!
